Do you not think it a bit too hyperbolic to throw scare quotes around experts and imply the only people who can have opinions on systemic risk are software engineers? I don't think…

Assuming you're referring to Thaler v. Perlmutter, Thaler claimed to the copyright office that the image at issue was "autonomously created by a computer algorithm running on a mac…

I think the suggestion is that the government use of that public data could be such as to create a chilling effect. That is, the upload and interaction of the user with the private…

AIUI Because if you have a zero data retention agreement you are necessarily not in the class of records at issue (since enterprise customers records are not affected, again AIUI p…

I don't think it is accurate to say that the data becomes the government's or they have to act as an informant (I think that implies a bit more of an active requirement than respon…

Do you think the 4th amendment enjoins courts from requiring the preservation of records as part of discovery? The court is just requiring OpenAI to maintain records it already mai…

Well, presumably the claim would be that a factor in their not having taxable income was the fact that they didn't have to amortize their development cost.

> Meanwhile, software developers spot code fragments seemingly lifted from public repositories on Github and lose their shit. What about the licensing? If you’re a lawyer, I defer.…

There already was a verdict (for the Times) but it was thrown out on appeal. This is a re-do. ETA: I looked up the docket [0] and in fact, this was the second appeal (See ECF 64). …

Probably https://free.law/ ETA: which is of course mentioned on the thread root. But RECAP users would be paying, in that case.

I would think it makes some amount of sense if you think they're vegetarian for some moral reason and you think you could court them to become customers.

Why do you think that? This obviously does not preclude copyright interests from existing in works which were generated using "AI" as a blanket rule; rather, this is about the fact…

What comparison do you think the parent comment is making? They just vaguely gesture at corporate personhood and say "what about that?" My best reading of it is "can 'they' say tha…

Yes, I agree. I don't think I am saying anything inconsistent with that.

Code is not purely functional. If it is, it is not copyrightable (at least in the US; probably true elsewhere but I am less sure) [0]. I would not expect most prompts to be purely …

> What I can guarantee, is that the prompt itself would be copyright-able. That's non-obvious to me. Even if the prompt is extremely long and precise, if it is somehow purely funct…

In what way do you think corporate personhood is relevant here?

I don't think it takes that much imagination here. Not sure what good the first step is actually doing you. Might as well just AI-generate your racketeering demand letters without …

As a matter of law? Sure it does. Thaler said the image at issue was "autonomously created by a computer algorithm running on a machine". He's been trying to walk that back for the…

I think this is discussed at length in part II.D (starts at the bottom of 17). I would write more but I have spent too long already on this thread :) I would be a bit careful about…

> Right, I'm saying they based it on on the "text" of the law, instead of the motivation. Sure, although they do discuss TikTok's challenge to the motivation ("Petitioners further …

> It absolutely does. (It’s in the opinion.) The opinion actually assumes without deciding that First Amendment scrutiny applies, so I don't think it "absolutely" does. (But yes, i…
